For more information about opportunities for kids and teens, email Jeff Franks.

While you enjoy our weekend services, your young children will be immersed in an environment of imagination, adventure and connection with God through songs, Bible memory verses, and play. We engage them in developmentally sensitive activities that spark their young hearts to a greater understanding of the presence and activity of God. We also provide you with materials to help you reinforce what your children learn and experience as a Little Camper at HopePark. Our ministry to children is committed to coming alongside you as a parent to help you do the challenging work of impressing God's loving, compassionate character upon the hearts of your children.

A great adventure awaits your child as scientist Isaac Strongbrain and explorer Jordan Rivers take them on an epic journey. A mysterious crater is creating a portal in time, transporting characters from the Bible into Kid's Park. The Bible characters work with Isaac and Jordan to overcome some of the obstacles that keep us all from making choices that grow faith, give hope and spread love. Through creative storytelling and music, your children will learn how to apply biblical principles to everyday decisions and will get to know characters they can only experience at Kid's Park. Our team of staff and volunteers will also provide parents and caregivers with materials to help you engage your children during the week.

We understand that middle school can be a formative and challenging time for pre-teens and teens, and we are committed to helping you talk through sensitive issues like substance abuse, grades, friends, and other stress points.  Launch is a high-powered service that meets every Sunday at 10:00 a.m. in the Onion. Your child will experience music, games, small group activities and teaching designed to connect middle school students with God and develop relationships with people who care deeply for them. Launch also organizes a number of events for your student to enjoy throughout the year, including summer camps and other adventures that will build lasting memories. 

"I love The Source because I can be myself and nobody judges me. I can discover who I am and what God made me to be without a lot of pressure." This is a quote from one of the many students who enjoy our high school ministry. The Source meets on Wednesdays with hang time at 5:30 p.m. in Portable 2 and the service at 6:30 p.m. in the Onion. Hang time is just want you would imagine: a bunch of teens playing video games, eating pizza and, well, hanging out. The service is designed to be a fun place to connect with friends and meet God. There is engaging live music, humor, teaching, and a true sense of community. Guests are greeted with smiles, handshakes and hugs, and are accepted for who they are. The Source also hosts events, trips, camps and other life-altering adventures. Join us, and bring a friend!
